Getting the best results from your undergraduate study in New Zealand’s Massey University means being surrounded by the best: inspirational people, stimulating subject matter and extensive resources and support. Massey University’s achievements as one of the world’s premier learning establishments have been recognized most recently in its listing as one of the top three New Zealand universities in the prestigious Shanghai Jiao Tong University ranking of the world’s top 500 universities.

Massey University statistics are impressive by any measure - produces the highest number of completed postgraduate research degrees in New Zealand’ has witnessed a more than 40 percent rise in the number of PhDs, EdDs and DBAs in the past 10 years, employs staff with superb academic qualifications - over half of its academic staff hold PhDs.

Massey University is the only university represented in all of the New Zealand government-funded Centres of Research Excellence, is home to innovative research initiatives such as: the Double Helix; New Zealand’s most powerful nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer; the EpiCentre, which played a pivotal role in controlling the United Kingdom’s foot and mouth epidemic; the Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Ecology and Evolution; and the Research School of Public Health.

Accolades such as this show that Massey University is a great place to study through its only Asia Education Partner – GISM Campus in Nugegoda and that Massey University postgraduate degrees can be a stepping stone to international success.

“GISM is an ambitious project. The founders are motivated by the most admirable of intentions: they want to further the professional development of Sri Lanka and its people.” - Professor Dr. Graeme Wake, Fellow Member of the Royal Society, New Zealand; “The new learning experiences offered by the Graduate Institute of Science and Management will no doubt serve as a benchmark academic standard in the application of state-of-the-art development and research technologies in teaching methodologies as well as in ongoing research.” - Professor Tissa Vitharana, M.P. former Hon. Minister of Science and Research – Sri Lanka.

The comments alone of two distinguished and eminent personalities, speak volumes of what GISM stands for. It’s the defining campus of Sri Lanka for Sri Lankan students. The first batch of students successfully completing the first year of their degree in Sri Lanka at GISM Campus was recognized for their academic excellence in the annual Awards Ceremony recently. This is the first time in Sri Lanka’s Higher Education history where students are transferred to a New Zealand University as part of an articulation programme conducted with a Sri Lankan Education Provider. The Assistant-Vice Chancellor and a high ranking panel of Professors from Massey University were present the occasion.
